Jesus Strong And Kind - A Year In Reflection (Andrew Margetson)

In the final message of 2025, guest speaker Andrew Margetson reflected on the profound paradoxes of Jesus being both infinitely strong and remarkably kind. He explored how the immortal Creator became a vulnerable creature, contrasting the season’s spiritual peace with modern stressors and materialism. Andrew illustrated Christ's strength through His victory over wilderness temptations and His authority over the storm (Matthew 8), while highlighting His kindness through tender interactions with the marginalised, like the Samaritan woman. This combination of absolute power and perfect love serves as a reminder to run to Jesus with our burdens. As we close the year, we are invited to surrender our disappointments to a Saviour who is both all-powerful and completely available to guide us into 2026.
